Slated Atomic i „ — I ( Test Fails In Nevada Today Scheduled Test Is Tentatively Reset Thursday? Morning Las Vegas, Nev., May 20 —(UP) —A schedule atomic test failed today for the second time since the atomic energy commission started using its southern Nevada proving grounds, and the AEC said it did not know what went wrong. Today’s detonation was to have been the 18th nuclear explosion at the desert site 75 miles northeast, of here. Failure either in the wiring maze or in the device itself atop the 300-foot steel tower caused the fifth postponement of the test originally set for a week dgo. It was tentatively reset for Thursday morning. A, loose wire caused the previous failure during the series of tests last fall. “An experimental nuclear device scheduled to be tested this morning on a Nevada proving ground tower was put into operation but at zero time there was no detonation,” the atomic energy commission said in a prepared statement. j “It has not yet been determined what occurred in the connecting firing and test circuit” to the tower, the AEC Continued. “The experiment has not been cancelled but has been postponed for at least 48 hours.” 1 The AEC scientists charged with the experiment declined to elaborate and said only"“we don’t know what happened.” Although the AEC would not confirm it, it was believed the trouble could have been-either in the maze of electrical- circuits connecting the firing device with the ' tower or possibly in the nuclear device itself. The AEC withheld announcement of. the test failure .pending clearing of the official statement with headquarters in Washington. The action took 10 minutes from (the time it was dispatched from , ! the proving grounds at Yucca Flat, 70 miles northeast bf, hiere, until clearance was received. PRES. TRUMAN , (Continued From Pw One) J. Lawton -Collins, army chief of staff, that an atomic artillery piece has been “developed and tested." He gave no further details, said the new weapon “will have to be reckoned with in the future.” Informed sources said the army has already ordered 20 of the giant atomic cannons from the Baldwin locomotive works. Collins said several months ago that the wea-> pon had been tested with conventional high explosives, but indicated that the army was still I awaiting perfection of an atomic artillery shell- —a project which the atomic energy commission has given high priority in its recent Nevada tests. Asserting that Americans must not “relax” their defense efforts, Mr. Truman said: “The forces of the Soviet empire are large, well-trained, and equipped with modern weapons, including the atom bomb. The Kremlin’s desire to dominate the world is Obviously unchanged.” The president’s analysis of the situation in Korea followed a long talk with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, the supreme commander in the Far East who is on his \ way to Europe to succeed Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Ridgway arrived I in Washington last night anc( went ■ into immediate conference with the president. He accompanied the president to West I’oint today. 'Mr. Truman restated in strong terms this country’s firm refusal to give in to Communist demands on exchange of prisoners in Korea. “It is perfectly clear,” he said, “that thousands and thousands of the prisoners we hold would violently resist being returned t othe Communists because they fear the slavery or death that would await them. “It would be a betrayal of the ideals of freedom and justice for which we are fighting if we forced these men at bayonet point to return to their We won’t do it. We Won’t biiy an armistice by trafficking in human slavery." Youth Served Sullivan, Ind.

One youngster, resolved to make the most of a good thing, was still going strong on hip sixth trip to the counter. “I cut him down to a cone that time,” the manager said, “I was afraid the boy was going to get sick.” \- Lake" Mead, the reservoir “of Hoover Dam, is the largest artificial lake in the world.

But, today there will be no ceremony here to mark the 25th anniversary of Charles A. Lindbergh’s first nob-stop flight across the Atlantic o|cean. Lindbergh landed at Le Bourget airport here 1 a quarter of a century ago, 33 hours, 30 minutes and 29 seconds aftef leaving New York. As he stepped from his frail eingleerigined plane “The Spirit of St. Louis” h e torched off world wide celebrations. A shouting waving mob welcomed him and started him on a round Os festivities and receptions. The warmest welcome was. from the Parisians whq were won by the tall,\ shy, Swedish-American pilot in the borrowed pants. Europe went wild for two; weeks as it welcomed Lindy. I | On his retjurn home, Lindbergh was welcomed in Washington by president Calvin Coolidge. Then he was rushed to Ndw York for the biggest parade put on till then. Today, Air France reported some 1,500,000 civilians have flown across the Atlantic Since Lindbergh’s 1927 triumph. In the 33| hours it took Lindbergh ti> cross with a # 200horsepower engine, some 1,800 persons wfll make the trip today in four-engined 10,000 horse-powered airliners. It will take them only 11 hours and 15 minutes from shore to shore. Lindbergh made his flight he was ja mail pilot with only five years experience. St. Louis, Mo. businessmen raised the $25,000 he needed for the trans-Atlantic try.

. . ■ - Booflegging Boom Is Biggest In 10 Years High Whisky Taxes, Friction Blamed ''Washington. ( May 20 — (UP) — Bootleggers are having their biggest \>oom in 10 years—-thanks to high whisky taxes and friction between federal and state enforcement authorities. In the nine-month period which ended March 31, federal agents seized about 8,000 stills throughout the country, ranging from crude “ground hog” stills operated in track woods areas tto 1,000gallon outfits set up in of nehr sppie of the biggest metropolitan centers. Their combined capacity was well over 300,000, gallons a day, or an average of 40 gallons per still. UThe liquor industry reports that state and local authorities raided an equal number of outlaw’-stills in the same period, bringing the total seizures to about 16.000, Since the seizure rate has been climbing steadily in recent months, it is expected that the federal-state-local figure for the fiscal year ending June 30 will reach a 10year high of more than 20,000 stlils with a combined daily capacity of more than 800,090 gallons. ; On the basis of treasury department estimates that each still operates for an average of 37 days before it is located and raided, the known moonshine production for this fiscal year should run around gallons. with federal excise taxes at $10.50 a gallon, that represents a $315,000,000 loss to the treasury. And industry experts claim that only one in six gets caught. Since congress raised federal excise taxes on whisky from $9 th $10.50 a gallon last Noy. 1, Hie njoonshiner’s profit margin is bigger today than at any time since repeal. Coupled with state taxes averaging $1.66 a gallon, the federal tariff gives the outlaw booze peddler a margin of $2.43 a fifth on wares. ;v;In addition to the tax loss, the bjootlegger presents a major public safety problem, as was demonstrated in Atlanta, Ga., last fall, when 41 persons died and 81 others were blinded after drinking “white lightning,” Federal authorities here contend they could bring the bootleg traffic under control in short order with more agents—the internal revenue bureau now has 855 alcohol tax investigates— and the full cooperation of the states.

■ w Eisenhower Meets v With Dutch Cabinet Not Aspiring For Presidency—lke The Hague, The Netherlands. May 20—(UP)—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today that he is “not aspiring to anything.” If the Republican party wants him to run ifor president, he said, it will have to tell him so. j The retiring supreme allied commander made the comment to Dutch Premier Willem Drees during an extraordinary meeting of the Dutch cabinet held in Eisenhower’s honor in the historic “armistice room” of The Hague government building. When Drees remarked that Eisenhower* was “aspiring to high office” in -the U. S., Eisenhower replied: ' 4. “I am not aspiring to anything. “I realize that in my country, at least, it is the fashion for every political aspirant- to declare that he is not one. A “But I'should like to point 'put that 1 came to Europe .out of a sense of duty and the! only way I shall take any other job will lie out of a sense of duty, and that sense of duty will have to be communicated to. me by that great political party to which I have given as much alfegaince as a soldier is allowed.” , • Eisenhower’s final reference to ‘as much allegiance as a soldier js allowed” was believed his answer to Republican critics who contend that the general lias failed to, make known his views bn controversial dopiestic political issues. The general-Will retire June 1 as supreme commander of the North Atlantic pact armed forces and return to thb U. S. He has said that he will pot campaign actively fpr the presidency until andijunlesis he wins the Republican nomination. Holland is Eisenhower’s final stop on his farewell tour of the North Atlantic allies. He will turn over his comniarid next week to Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, formerly supreme United Nations commander in the Far East. Eisenhower \told the Dutch cabinet that a-“great; start" had been made toward EUrppean defense and unity. \V- - ' - \ « “We are not victims of foolish optimism,” he. said; “Once we have brought Europe to cipher 'integration nad have the support of the U.
